Paraplegia is a paralysis of the lower half of the body, including loss sensory function and often motor function as well. In other words: paraplegics are unable to feel anything from the waist down and they also can't move their legs and feet (if there's any sensation remaining.) Paralysis is very likely due to lesions of the spinal cord, which are either complete or incomplete. Complete lesions cause total loss of function in the lower half of the body. Incomplete lesions cause varying degrees of feeling and movement in some parts but not others.
A physiotherapist is a professional specialized in the repair and restoration of physical mobility of patients who have suffered some type of physical trauma.
Remember that for the proper selection of health professional that treats paraplegia you must consider the nature, severity and symptoms you are presenting.
